Call out for creatives from Hazel Donnelly at New Media Lincs. It’s the LSM’s social enterprise initiative, which links students with businesses and arts & crafts organisations to provide creative media solutions. Hazel sums up the latest opportunities for students:
Can you design a mobile app for the NHS to promote Family and Healthy Lifestyle services? This is an exciting project with immense potential. Open to Year 2 and Year 3 students.

Dani Moseley in Award Winning Web Series
Many congrats to our 2007 graduate Dani Moseley who was listed in the ‘Outstanding Guest Actress Award’ at the LA Web Series Festival 2013 for playing Simone in Brothers With No Game – BWNG to its web viewers.

They can watch it ‘instantly’ whereas TV has happened & gone.” Continue reading
